Are there even 10 relevant rappers?

Drake
Tyler
Future
Lil Baby
Kanye
NBA YB
Lil Durk
Cardi B
Meg
21 Savage/Jack Harlow

Prolly squeeze in a couple more names if it was more than 10. Thug and/or Gunna would prolly be there if they weren’t locked up

Actually lowkey you could swap Cardi out for Carti tbh. When was the last time she was relevant for music? But in general she obv been in the public eye a lot

Seems like there’s only like 3 niggas doing anything. Everyone else either dead or in jail.

But I’ll give it a show

Lil Baby
Drake
Durk
Future
21
Kodak
Carti
NBA YB
Gunna (if wasn’t incarcerated)
Thug (if wasn’t incarcerated)

the female rappers are dominating as far as viral trends but I don’t feel like they’ll last that long. Except Glorilla, I think she’s here to stay.

I think that last Jack Harlow album counted him out the conversation. He’s done

this year in order:

Drake
Lil Baby
Future
Travis
Doja*
Gunna
Kendrick
Nicki
Durk
Cardi
21

Nicki and Gunna both high than Cardi and Meg this year

What did Travis do this year?
besides features?

I forgot Kendrick. Always think of him as doing something completely outside of hip hop. Idk why that’s just me.

Travis didn't need to do anything hype for next project is there

Yeah that’s fair. I’d put Kodak and Kendrick in my list too idk how I forgot

Ye number 1 above drake

You said in order and Trav higher than Kenny 🧢

I agree once Utopia rollout fully starts he’ll be up there but to me Trav just been lowkey this year. He still relevant obv but Kendrick just came back off hiatus.

travis hype def there, no diss to kendrick

honestly yea if we looking at more than just music.

Well obviously it’s there but you lying if Travis was more relevant than Kendrick in 2022

there’s just no way around it lol

Unfortunately right but it’s the truth

yea u right especially until week of mr morale. hype for kendrick definitely was there

Album was fairly successful

Really? I remember everyone hating on it. Had horrible singles too

first class and churchhill downs carried it. I honestly forgot it dropped this year

Yea I do hear first class on the radio every now n then. I personally think Jack Harlow will be left in 2022

I think by 2023/2024, Jack Harlow will be putting more work in acting than rapping
